The animal rights association, Uncaged created International Animal Rights Day in 1998. It was their goal to highlight all forms of violence against animals. Founders of the day stated that since animals can’t vote, protest, or lobby for their own protection, humans have to do it for them. Uncaged has its headquarters in Sheffield, England. They specifically chose December 10th for International Animal Rights Day as it coincides with Human Rights Day. It’s their desire to extend these same inalienable rights to all living creatures, even if they are a different species than humans.
